Great place for family vacation

This property was a good fit for our 3-generation holiday vacation. Each couple had their own bedroom with bathroom. The pool and hot tub were used almost each evening as we returned from sightseeing and touring the island. The location was a good midpoint for accessing many of the island attractions. Our only concern was the cleanliness of the home could have been better. The tile floors were dirty. I spilled water when filling ice trays and when I wiped it up with a paper towel it came up a dirty brown. We also noticed glasses in the cupboards were dusty/dirty and required washing prior to using. There appeared to be mold along the rim of the washing machine door. But overall, this home was a great fit for us and we enjoyed it immensely. I would definitely recommend to others.

Your personal Big Island Resort!

We cannot say enough about this property. The most amazing views! A meticulously maintained yard and garden! A variety of fresh fruit ready to be picked right off the trees! Swimming pool and hot tub! And one of the best cared for homes that we have ever stayed in. The bedrooms are separate from the main house and offer a sense of privacy when you need it. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal. And the Webber barbecue on site was clean and well maintained. The owner's representative was easy to communicate with. And the guidebook in the house was extremely helpful. We are already talking about returning to the island and this home!

Family

We had a fabulous time! The layout of the house was perfect for our family. We enjoyed walking around the property identifying all the plants. But the view was phenomenal, gorgeous sunsets and on the few clear nights we had, the stargazing was out of this world. I would definitely recommend this property and can’t wait to get back.

Secluded property with wonderful views, but set-up not great for young families

8 nights here this June. Chose the property for the seclusion, acreage of fruit trees to explore, view, & private pool. Half the price of other properties with these features. A few drawbacks wish we had known when booking that perhaps I should have realized from the description: 1. Bedrooms do not lead out into one central area and one is not even within the locked gate of the compound. This made me nervous at night to have my kids in rooms that were not behind a shared locked gate. 2. Some windows actually are not able to be closed - all have screens. 3. Invasive Coqui frogs yell dusk to dawn and with the lack of A/C and ability to close all windows, they were very annoying. 4. The pool is small though sufficient. Neighborhood a mix of nicely kept properties like this one and a burned down structure where squatters took residence. Check-in. Asked for instructions the night before - was sent a PDF I could not open and no one replied to a message regarding this. Arrived at designated check-in time having stopped at Costco on the way (with frozen items) and we could not get into the buildings. Called the number listed - no answer. Called VRBO. After a few attempts, they reached the owners who were not in the state and seemed annoyed and gave us a code that did not work. After about an hour, a local person called us and gave us the correct code for the key. Loved watching the birds, good laundry facilities. Would write more positive but no more characters allowed.

Beautiful property + accommodations

This is the second time we have stayed at the "Hideaway". It is a beautiful property. Very private and peaceful. There are 3 bedrooms detached from the main living area -- they provide privacy for everyone. The main living area is extremely comfortable. A decent kitchen, excellent BBQ and a beautiful deck/patio with a heated pool and hot tub. The views from the patio/deck and sunsets were spectacular. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

Best House on the Island

We loved our second stay here! The setup and location of this home is perfect. We had three couples and the separate bedrooms work perfectly and the shared space was great, but our favorite part is the view and outdoor area - it’s such a perfect place to sit and enjoy. We plan on coming back again because we love this place so much!

New Year's at the Hideaway

I recently stayed over New Year's with my husband, son and parents. We really enjoyed the view from the hideaway and family dinners on the lanai. The kitchen was well equipped. Stunning views of New Year's Eve fireworks all along the coast from the 800' elevation. We loved enjoying fresh fruit from the fruit trees and the property manager was very responsive to questions. We would stay at the Hideaway again!

Looking for a perfect hideaway with ocean and sunset views?

We spent a magical week at the hideaway! It was the perfect spot to get away, relax, enjoy family and feel pampered. The hideaway's accommodations were fantastic, our Nonnie was able to easily and comfortably enjoy watching the early morning fishing boats, local birds at the bird feeder, grandsons swimming, and the sparkling evening lights of Kona. The grounds are spectacular with an abundance of delicious fruits, beautiful flowers and foliage. We enjoyed the beauty and peace around us and hope to return. The hideaway was so welcoming, it's kitchen is very well appointed, we cooked and enjoyed our breakfasts, lunches dinners with a view from the lanai every day. The rooms very comfortable and there is a well stocked shed with beach toys if you need. Once you arrive you won't want to leave. Mahalo Hideaway, until we see you again.

Great little hideaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. It was nice having separate rooms connected by a central courtyard - it certainly does not have a conventional layout and helped to make us feel like we were on vacation. All the amenities were there and the open layout helped accomodate everyone's different schedules. The fruit trees and gardens were marvelous and there was something magical about being able to eat papaya and limes harvested 5 minutes prior.

First Time on the Big Island

The property is really great, huge and isolated just as described. There’s tons of trees and beautiful plants and lush grounds which makes you really feel like you’re in a jungle. This was my families first time on the big island, and we had originally planned on going to Maui and had to change our plans with one weeks notice due to fires in Lahaina. The house has a main room in the front with a kitchen, living room, and dining room with the most amazing view of the sunrise/sunset which leads to the pool. All the other rooms are separate from each other which makes this a nice stay for couples. In our case we had children who enjoyed feeling like they had their own rooms to retreat to. There’s no a/c and lots of bugs, which I’m experienced on every island and all my stays outside of hotels in Hawaii so this wasn’t any different. The kitchen is minimal in supply’s, but it had enough to cook in most meals. You are very close by a few areas you can go on snorkeling adventures with the manta rays at night, etc. About a 20 minute drive to the main town of Kona for all the big tourist stuff. The property host did show up unexpectedly and walk in on my husband while he was in the bedroom which caught him off guard. Other than that, the trip was excellent.

Exceptional Property

We spent a week at this property in late May of 2023. Two couples and one single traveler. The layout of the house ensures privacy and a common area for all to enjoy. The deck, pool, hot tub and view were all fantastic. The kitchen was well appointed and the living room comfortable and inviting. The pictures do not do this property justice - the grounds are beautiful and the house itself is extremely comfortable. It is in a great location and because of the elevation, a little bit cooler at night. Given the opportunity, we would return in a "heart beat".

"THE HIDEAWAY"

The Hideaway was an amazing home that we enjoyed for a month! The outside dinning area, the pool and hot tub were great amenities. The panoramic view was magnificent with spectacular sunsets. There was plenty of room in the bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our family. We can't say enough thanks to Linda and Anthony for their amazing attention to detail and impeccable service for the house and yard. They made our stay so enjoyable. The gardens gave us plenty of delicious fruits and vegetables along with bountiful flowers. We highly recommend this house as an exceptional "Hideaway" for privacy and seclusion.

About the host

Hosted by DM Shroyer is Agent for the Owner, J Carder

Host profile image
We live in Portland, Oregon most of the year, but love to escape to Kona during the mainland rainy season! We purchased this property as it spoke to our romantic nature...

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for it's tranquil setting, view and climate - which is awesome at this elevation. Though our renovation of the house(s) is well-appointed and modern, the surrounding neighborhood has a laid-back feel, with coffee growers on the hill, even a chocolate 'factory' nearby. And, if you get your fill of peace and relaxation, 'Civilization' is only a few minutes away...

What makes this property unique

The Hideaway offers plenty of privacy, while still close and convenient to all amenities. Some of our guests compare it to staying at their own private spa!

The main house (with it's 3 separate 'cabanas' - each with it's own full bed & bath), surround a beautifully attended courtyard. On the surrounding grounds, we encourage our guests to explore the variety of lush foliage, flowers and trees. Also, retrieve fresh, ripe papaya, lime, and other fruits for a delicious tropical breakfast!

If you enjoyed the movie, 'Enchanted April', we think you'll love the Hideaway...
